surgery = not as fun as it sounds


having gone thru none of these before, surgery stinks. it has been 49 hours since i last ate, and i do not see eating anywhere in the immediate future. i cannot open my mouth wide enough to get a spoon in anyway. feel like i have a mouth full of cotton balls, like shattered glass cotton balls.

but i do love the optimism of my surgeon. 'oh, you talk all day for a living? yeah, take a couple days for yourself, but you'll be fine.' seriously, if your throat is bugging you a little, maybe it would be better to take those useless tonsils out..... dont do it.

i guess my analysis is a little premature, but if i cannot talk, eat, or swallow anything but cold water soon, i may go raving mad. just a heads up. oh, and if i dont lose a bunch of weight after this, dont even get in my way.


bright side, tonya is a champ - she is staying home with me this week to make sure i am alright. she is the best.

Hey John, its Joel. I do hope that you feel better soon. The piranha picture I think sums up well how you feel. In Miami huh? Sorry I missed you. Had I known that you and Tonya were going to be in Miami I would have at the very least driven by and waved to you. LOL. Hope you feel better bud. Give my best to Tonya and Lucy. Tell Lucy that "Silly" says hello.
